Can't assume facts not in evidence - we can only go by what the writers gave us ... not what they didn't.
And nothing suggests the Feds were the only ones giving up anything. It wasn't important to mention what the Rommies gave up, just the Feds side of things.
Your point being?
That the Feds responded in kind. They captured the Romulan tech and took a ranking officer captive. Arguably more damage done than what the Romulans did in Balance of Terror by wrecking some minor outposts.
Untrue. In "Balance of Terror" it is stated the Romulan ship ran on impulse engines and that the cloaking device took a lot of energy.
You misunderstand, when Balance of Terror was written the idea was the Impulse still meant FTL, just less than Full Warp Drive. The Romulan ship had FTL, that one ship just didn't have full Warp capacity. The story wouldn't have made sense otherwise.
Such as? Cloaked ships were continued to be used because they gave a consistant level of advantage - why continue to use a device that has a stated high level of energy consumption)?
Because the Romulans couldn't develop anything better.
And why continue to write it in if it does not motivate or enhance the drama?
It's Iconic to Trek, mainly.
Again, with all due respect ... can't really say that.
Like I said, I'm happy the Federation isn't the same bland Space Military Dictatorship most unoriginal sci-fi series use.

The bun is frosted in BC and the dog is covered in fondant. The pickle spear, relish, onions, tomato wedges, and sport peppers are also fondant. The mustard is BC. The "poppy seeds" are black sugar sprinkles.

Red Barber
Jump to
A pioneer baseball sportscaster, "The Old Redhead" is generally acknowledged as having been one of the very best practitioners of his craft. Over the course of his long career, Barber called play-by-play on the first night baseball game, the first televised game (during which he also announced the first TV commercials), the first televised World Series, and the first televised football games. The first man to be hired by Edward R. Murrow when the legendary newsman returned from World War II to run CBS News, he served as the network's director of sports.
Barber garnered praise from some and criticism from others for his scrupulous impartiality during his broadcasts; one never had a sense that he was rooting for one team over another--a trait that sometimes irritated partisans (such as his employers). Barber became familiar to a new generation of fans through his Friday morning appearances on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" for the last 11 years of his life. One did not need to be a sports fan to delight in hearing this great broadcaster's wonderfully tangy voice--so warmly evocative of leisurely summer afternoons--comment on the current sports scene in a crisp no-nonsense manner.

Who was Dmitri Shostakovich? The USSR's official figurehead composer and son of the revolution that brought the Soviet state into being, or a secret dissident whose contempt for the totalitarian regime was scathing? Perhaps both? Since the posthumous publication in 1979 of alleged memoirs by Shostakovich, the controversy about the composer and his music has escalated into the most rancorous debate the world of classical music has ever known. Ian MacDonald's The New Shostakovich presents the case for the dissident view, arguing passionately that the meaning of the composer's music cannot be fully appreciated without a knowledge of the terrible times he and his fellow artists lived through under Soviet Communism. A widely read and critically acclaimed book in the 1990s, this new edition has been comprehensively revised, extensively corrected, and updated with much new material. Whichever side of the debate readers support, The New Shostakovich presents them with a viewpoint which cannot be ignored.

In order to test of the firmware outdoors, I recorded some stuff in Alicante, Spain. Even though the workflow is time-consuming, It really makes a differece. Alicante is called the "city of light", the light is harsh at noon. With raw recording, it is easier to capture more light in difficult contrasty situations.
Congratulations Magic Lantern team!
Shot at 1880x720 (this is the best I could do with my 400x SanDisk CF card).
Lens used: Canon 24-105mm, Canon 85mm f.14, Samyang 35mm
For macro shots I used an extension tube.

Tokyo—Fast Retailing, owner of Uniqlo and the largest apparel retailer in Asia, reported today its half year results, raising its annual forecast as its international sales increase and it benefited from a weakening yen.
The company, which saw its profit rise as the yen continues to slide downward (19% decrease against the U.S. dollar in the last 12 months, forecast that for its fiscal year ending in August it will post net income of 91.5 billion yen (about $918 billion). That is ahead of its previous forecast for 87 billion yen, and exceeds the 90 billion yen that analysts' average estimates.
Fiscal 2013 sales for Uniqlo Japan are expected to increase by 8.5% while sales at Uniqlo International are expected to increase by 52.8%. And operating income is expected to rise by 81.8% For fiscal 2013 sales of Global Brands are expected to rise by 26.8%.
The company finished its first six months at the end of February with 828 Uniqlo Japan stores and 359 international stores. Sales have benefited from new store openings, including one in Tokyo's Ginza shopping district, under a plan to replace the Uniqlo brand's utilitarian image. The company has said it expects to have 1,000 stores in China, matching the number in Japan, by 2020.
In its first half, sales rose 17% and operating income rose 5.3%, ordinary income rose 15.2% and net income expanded by 13.8%. Uniqlo International and Global Brands reported gains in both sales and income in the first half, while Uniqlo Japan reported a rise in sales but a fall in profit over the six-month period due to narrowed gross margin of 46.7%.
At its Uniqlo International sales jumped 54% and operating income expanding by 39.8%. China and Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and other parts of Asia generated especially strong gains in both sales and income.

We stayed in the 8 bed bunk room downstairs, for two nights. There are two bathrooms, both with toilet and shower, but one was far too small to shower in, and the toilet was not working in the other. The floors were wet and dirty throughout our stay. The door to the bunk room is also very loud and creaky, which is quite disruptive. The atmosphere was not very social so it may not be very good for solo travellers. Breakfast and location were great!

Get ready
The 'fracking village' is on a mission to go solar. Let's help them out.
The 'fracking village' is on a mission to go solar. Let's help them out.
Repower Balcombe have already hooked up two schools and a local farm.
Now they're planning another installation: a nature-friendly solar park big enough to easily match the power demand of every home in Balcombe.
This will be one of the most ambitious community owned solar projects ever, so pretty soon they'll be asking the whole country to help make it happen.
Today's community energy projects are mostly quite small, but that's starting to change.
Citizen-owned clean power is already a big part of the mix in Germany – with the right support, we can do it too.
While some were busy insisting that a fossil-free grid was impossible, others have been working away to make it happen.
With cheap energy storage, large-scale tidal power and demand-shifting schemes all racing ahead, the future might be closer than you think.
Since the fracking furore in 2013, Balcombe has been the reluctant poster child for the UK's energy debate.
What happens here reverberates around the world, and they've already inspired other places threatened by flooding and fracking to follow in their footsteps.
Not just a local story
Join the campaign and spread the word.
Show that you Back Balcombe by joining the campaign and sharing their story with friends and family.
Help Balcombe build a brighter future.
Later this month, Balcombe will start raising the cash to fund their solar park, and inviting the whole country to help make it happen. Watch this space!
Support the spread of local power.
Balcombe is just the beginning: if they're successful, the race will be on to repower the rest of the country! Could your town be next?

There is so much to see and learn historically that you have to pace yourself or you'll burn out physically and mentally. We had 1 1/2 day to see it all. We started at the visitors center, went to the cyclorama, museum, and then got a self paced driving tour map. With the map you can see it all and spend as much or as little time as you want at each stop. I got a little overwhelmed with all the war strategy information and trying to comprehend it all. Best to take it in to the level you are comfortable, and not to over analyze it. After all, the main point of being there is to look around and appreciate that this is where the bloody war happened with so many lives lost.

Editor's Note: In May, HPNA welcomed Jeff Jack, architect, member of CodeNext Citizens Advisory Group (CAG), chair of the Board of Adjustment, and ex-officio member of the Planning Commission. Jeff spoke about the CodeNext process and its potential threats to neighborhoods. Excerpts of his remarks appear below.
The CodeNext Background
Know what this is? It's a Rubik's Cube. The Rubik's Cube is a good analogy for what we've been doing in the city of Austin for a long time. I was president of the Austin Neighborhoods Council when we started neighborhood planning. It was supposed to be a vehicle to address the conflict between neighborhoods, environmentalists, and the development community, where the community would come together and map out the future and get codified into a neighborhood plan. Then that neighborhood plan would be respected by the Council.
It didn't work that way. After the first couple neighborhood plans were created, the staff began to take the process in a different direction. Staff's intention was simple – new urbanism, density. What we've had over the last 20 years is a process where each turn of the Rubik's Cube was lining up for an inevitable conclusion. That is going to play out in the last step of the process called CodeNext.
Imagine Austin was one of the steps in this process. We went through this great community gathering of people interested in shaping our city. Out of that came some recommendations, but a lot of the voices in the neighborhoods weren't heard. Many felt that the staff already had a foregone conclusion of where they wanted the process the end. At the very last of the process, council members Tovo and Morrison put in page 207. Page 207 is critical for our neighborhoods because it said that the neighborhoods plans that had been created by the communities, codified by the vote of the council, would be respected in the CodeNext process. Well, maybe and maybe not.
When we started dealing with smart growth, in 2000, Kirk Watson had just become mayor and he brought with him all of the smart growth initiatives. He had about a dozen that he wanted to get implemented immediately. The Neighborhoods Council at the time said, wait a second. We're doing neighborhood plans, we really shouldn't be doing this as a one-size-fits-all in the city. So the only one that he got through was a secondary unit on a 7000-square-foot SF3 lot. All of the other infill options were made optional for the neighborhood planning process. It was essentially a zoning change, but staff's legal department said no, it's not a zoning change, so you didn't have to get notified.
Forces Driving New Urbanism in Austin
The new urbanist idea has been around for a long time, but in Austin we have essentially five groups of people who support the idea. There are those people who like the urban lifestyle. They want a bar on every other corner and a coffee shop on the corners in between. Now I'm an old urbanist. When I lived in Denver, I lived downtown in a high rise, my office was in a high rise, I didn't take a car, I rode the bus between, and I could walk to the neighborhood bar if I wanted to. But when I came to Austin I joined the Zilker Neighborhood Association. I realized neighborhood are more than just buildings, it's the people who live in the neighborhoods that really count and define the neighborhood. If you start from that position, neighborhoods really need to be respected.
We also have people who believe in economics 101. You simply have supply and demand. All we have to do is increase the supply of housing in the city and the price of housing's going to go down. The problem is, what we have done is encourage an in-migration of much wealthier people over the last 20 years, so instead of the demand curve simply moving out, it's moved up.
One thing I've been advocating in the city of Austin for many years is to have a city economist. We're a $3 billion a year corporation with no economic expertise on staff. When they want to prove something, they hire a consultant and tell him what they want him to do, and he gives them a report giving them what they want. We have nobody on the city staff who has the ability to do an analysis of any of the deals that we've made, any of the code changes that we're proposing, to know whether they really work or not. It's total resistance from city staff to have that expertise available, because they don't know what the answer's going to be.
Third group of people. There are environmentalists who believe that the automobile is the root sin of sprawl and if we can just get enough density in Austin, we can stop sprawling. Now I don't know about you, but I know that capitalism doesn't stop at the city limits. If you drive out 71, 290, 183, as soon as you get past the city limits you're going to see development. The developers know they can go out there, buy the land cheaper, build the houses that people want, and make money. Sprawl's not going to stop by densifying our neighborhoods. It's just going to change the nature of the sprawl.
There are also people who are advocates for transit. They believe we have to dense pack the neighborhoods in order to have enough ridership in our neighborhoods to support rail. Those four are sort of the vanguard for the discussion about new urbanism, CodeNext, and density in our neighborhoods.
But you know what's really driving it? Money. The development community, the homebuilders, the land speculators, the engineers, they're salivating at Austin becoming a gold mine to be mined for our real estate. Because they understand that the lot that you own today is going to be worth a lot more if they tear down that house and build something else on it.
Zucker Report
One of the first things that we heard in pushing the new code was that the code is difficult, it's expensive, and it's time-consuming for the development community. We suggested that you look at the administrative, managerial, and procedural issues with the code that we have today and fix that first, then deal with the substantive issues. Staff would not do that. When they wrote the RFQ for CodeNext, they excluded that work totally.
A year after we'd started CodeNext, they hired a California consultant, Zucker Systems, to look at those issues. They came up with a 700 page indictment of the city staff. It's taken the mask off of what the agenda was. But the city staff hasn't embraced it. They're trying to say, maybe the consultant didn't have all the facts, but the fact of the matter is they don't want to acknowledge that most of the claims by the development community about time and money for getting things permitted was really managerial in nature. It hid the real agenda of getting rid of the neighborhood protection parts of the code.
I think the Zucker report scared the city management. One of the things that's happening in the CodeNext process is a shakeup in our staff. For the last two years we've dealt with staff members who basically pushed the new urbanist creed. We hired a new assistant director for planning and he has a little bit different perspective. He says that the new code should be based on the DNA of your neighborhood.
The CodeNext Process
Back in November I proposed a resolution that clarified that the CAG supported being able to replicate your neighborhood plan with a new code. The pushback was amazing. The staff said, this is all bad, and I said, wait a second, in Imagine Austin it says we're going to be able to do this. Staff said, respect, it's not the same thing as replicate. If you don't think that "replicate" means what you want, what does "respect" mean? We can't get answers.
CodeNext went through a couple things. One of the important ones is the community character analysis. But they didn't take it very far. They didn't show you what percentage of your lots was in different classifications. But they did give you a bunch of pictures showing this house or this little corner grocery store that you like, and they're going to use that to justify future changes in the code that affect your neighborhood. Oh, you like that picture of that house with the big tree and the nice Victorian roof? By the way, it had a granny flat in the back, so you automatically like granny flats, don't you? It's called a visual preferencing survey and it's very manipulative. Another part of the Rubik's Cube.
One of the big disappointments is that they didn't do anything really data-drive. This is Zilker (pointing to a map). Those color-coded districts are each different service areas for sewers. And this yellow area right here? The load is 1320 LUEs, living unit equivalents. The capacity is 1340. So if we were to put density in that area, somebody's going to have to pay to increase that sewer capacity, from there practically all the way to Govalle. When asked about this in the Imagine Austin process, city staff said, we'll deal with the cost of infrastructure later. It's called a bond election.
We were also supposed to have some code talks because we understood that there were issues unresolved, like compatibility standards. What's the relationship between residential property and commercial property? Right now our code says that commercial property will step back and step down adjacent to residential property so that there is not an adverse effect on the residential. That is a huge problem for commercial development. We had code talks, there's no consensus, haven't had another code talk since. So about three months ago the city staff came up with another bright idea called working groups – three working groups and they got to pick the topics. The CAG didn't have any say about it.
One of the good things that's come out of this is that they hired an innovation officer for the city of Austin, somebody who's been in federal government, dealt with bureaucracies and trying to create new ways of doing things. She basically led the working group exercise. At the end everybody could agree on only the beginning questions. She called them, "How might we do something?" How might we respect deed restrictions? How might we assure that if we build units for affordability, they actually are affordable? A whole slew of questions like that didn't get answers. The staff trotted out a bunch of best practices. They were doing this in San Diego, they were doing this in Eugene, and the problem is that they weren't contextually the same as Austin.
Our entire city government budget is based on mainly property, sales, and franchise tax, unlike a lot of cities that have income from state income tax. So when you say that you're going to do affordable housing in Oklahoma City by having a sales tax, does that work in Austin? Is the gap between income levels and cost of living the same in Oklahoma City as it is in Austin? Well, there's no data. It was just thrown out there as, well, they're doing it over there, why don't we do it? So that came to a screeching halt and the "How might we?" questions are the only thing that got forwarded to Opticos, the consultants doing CodeNext.
In the fall of this year, they're going to do some testing of the code ideas. They are going to pick four areas of town. We asked to see the RFQ about this testing. They won't show it to us, because I understand what they're going to do: They'll give you a dog-and-pony show about how wonderful it's going to be if we do it this way. My suggestion is that we take a neighborhood that has an adopted neighborhood plan with a core transit corridor through it and really test it. Will the character of this neighborhood be the same if we adopt all of these infill tools? That's the kind of question I'm hoping that the core exercises charrettes are going to address. If we don't do it, my resolution goes back on the table. We're not going to let the last piece of the Rubik's Cube fall into place and end up with a picture we don't want.
Missing Middle Housing & Effects of Entitlements
The consultants and the city staff said we don't have enough missing middle housing to accommodate our growth. In most neighborhoods, you want to have a variety of housing, but where do you do it? If you look at some of the examples of form based code that have been adopted in other cities, they come in and say, in this transect, we're going to allow these different types of housing units and we're going to put them in your neighborhood somewhere. It doesn't mean that people are going to bulldoze your houses immediately, but it does change the entitlements. In time the investment community is going to buy up those properties at the value of housing and tear them down and build something denser.
When you do that, what happens with your evaluations of your property? I have a site next to me. Guy bought a house for $800 thousand, tore it down, built six units, each one is priced at $600 thousand to $1 million. My property taxes went up $58 thousand. When TCAD looks at the sales price of the properties around you, they put that into the pool of comparables and it raises everybody's property taxes. Increasing tax is directly related to increasing entitlements.
If you look at the city of Austin, how much land area do we have in the city full purpose, when we look at our ETJ, our extra territorial jurisdiction? The amount of land area in neighborhoods with neighborhood plans, what percentage all total do you think it is? 17%. So 83% of the opportunity to accommodate growth is outside of our planning areas. We're focusing all of this attention to densify these urban core neighborhoods when we're paying almost no attention to all of that 83% of land area that we control that is out there beyond us. I rail about this at the Planning Commission every time we have to approve a low density large lot subdivision at the edge of town in one case and in the next case we're trying to push entitlements to densify an urban core neighborhood.
Deed Restrictions & HOAs
We've been asking the city since the beginning of neighborhood planning to do an analysis of deed restrictions in these planning areas. It does us no good as a community to put neighbor against neighbor by not acknowledging deed restrictions. If you live in a subdivision that says you're not going to have a second story unit and you build a 2-story ADU, you get sued if you have a strong enough neighborhood association or HOA. In the South Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan, for the first time, the city staff looked at deed restrictions in one part of the neighborhood and the infill options that were in conflict with the deed restrictions were taken out of the plan. So we have a precedent. If you look at most of our older neighborhoods we're going to find out that the deed restrictions are pretty extensive.
We have a new city council because there's little trust in this community in our city staff. Those council members are going to be faced with a huge problem because a lot of the neighborhood plans are in essentially four of the ten council districts. Don Zimmerman doesn't have any neighborhood plans in his entire district but he's got a lot of HOAs that have deed restrictions. The other council members all have to understand that some of the pushing they feel, they're going to have to push back and say, wait a second, my neighborhood doesn't allow that.
It's not all bleak. We do have a new city council. I think that we do have to engage them, make them understand our issues. And hopefully they're not tied as previous councils have been to the development community, and maybe we'll get some traction out of this and we'll get a new code that actually works for the community.
Every weekend, around 8:00 pm, something unusual happens at the corner of 43rd and Guadalupe in Hyde Park.
At this location, a few years ago, a group of dysfunctional people in a filthy trailer park hired a hitman to murder a member of their family. More recently, at the same location, a preacher started a fight with his congregation and his wife over the existence of Hell. Then there was the weekend when an uncle could be found reconciling with his niece in a hut among the trees. And some weekends a man or woman will show up to tell the story of his or her life to anyone who will listen.
People from all over the state come to witness these events. If you want to share in these experiences, you need only walk over to the corner of 43rd and Guadalupe, pay a modest admission fee, and find a seat in the Hyde Park Theatre.
When I moved to Austin in the 1990s, I was surprised to learn that Austin had a much busier theatre scene than Houston did. A big reason for this is Ken Webster, the Artistic Director of Hyde Park Theatre. Hyde Park Theatre's stage rarely goes dark, because, in addition to Mr. Webster's own productions, the theatre features work from other acting companies and hosts an annual four week drama festival each winter. It is one of the busiest play houses in the city.
Hyde Park Theatre, originally built as a neighborhood post office (circa 1947), began a new life as a theatrical venue in 1982. It is small and unpretentious, with seating for only 70 to 85 patrons. No seat is more than 25 feet from the center stage, thereby creating an unusual intimacy between audience and performer. This intimacy, and the opportunities and challenges it presents, has caused some of Austin's best actors, designers, and directors to want to produce plays there.
If you have not yet been inside the theatre, please come to our June Neighborhood Association meeting. You will not only get to see the theatre but you will also get to hear Ken Webster talk to us about Hyde Park Theatre's past, present, and future. I hope you can make it to the meeting, and I hope you will eventually see some of the wonderful shows the theatre puts on throughout the year.

This issue of the Pecan Press brings us to June, the start of summer. We have much to be grateful for this summer. Barring unforeseen circumstances, our pools will open on schedule, Shipe Pool on Monday, June 8, and Shipe Wading Pool on Tuesday, June 16. We can also look forward to the 7th Annual Shipe Pool Party and Movie Night on Saturday, June 20th this year. We still haven't heard anything about the dates for constructing Shipe Pool anew, but the community engagement process for the design of the new pool should begin this winter.
We're excited to announce the first recipient of our lifeguard scholarship, Alberto Edwards. Alberto already had a conditional offer of employment with the City of Austin Lifeguard Program, so he was a perfect candidate for one of our scholarships. Congratulations, Alberto!
The HPNA has an important resolution to vote on at our June meeting: Should Hyde Park volunteer to be a CodeNext test neighborhood? Four areas around Austin will be used as test areas to apply some of the CodeNext principles, to determine what effect the code would have on those areas. In the words of our May speaker, Jeff Jack (see related article on the facing page), "It's going to be very important they pick (an area) with a neighborhood plan that has been adopted, that has a strong neighborhood association, has a strong contact team, and has all the characteristics that are going to exemplify what the code write is going to be: core transit corridor, proportion of residential that backs up to commercial strips, infrastructure." Hyde Park certainly has those characteristics. Watching what effect the new code would have on our Neighborhood Plan, NCCDs, and LHD would be valuable to all of the central Austin neighborhoods.
We hope you plan to attend and to vote on the resolution.

Before the meeting was officially called to order, the neighborhood association held a potluck. The attendees brought dishes including salads, appetizers, and desserts for everyone to enjoy. Co-President Lorre Weidlich called the May meeting of the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association to order at 7:29 PM at the Griffin School.
The first item on the agenda was a presentation from Jeff Jack about CodeNext and other development-related initiatives at the city. Jeff is a member of the CodeNext Citizens Advisory Group. The Citizen's Advisory Group has 11 members, one member selected by each Council Member of the previous City Council and four members by the city manager. It also has three working groups: Affordability; In-fill, Compatibility, and Missing Middle; and Small Business. Jeff talked about the origins of the current CodeNext process and its roots in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. An important upcoming part of the process is the evaluation of the effect of the new code on four neighborhoods within the city. Jeff accepted questions and comments from the floor throughout the presentation. (See related article, page 3).
The meeting moved to announcements. Lorre Weidlich announced that the Steering Committee would meet at 7 PM on May 11th at Trinity United Methodist Church. David Conner announced that the DRC would meet at 7 PM on Thursday. Adam Wilson announced that Shipe Pool is expected to reopen as planned but lifeguards are still needed to staff the city pools. Adrian Skinner announced that the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association has offered to support 2-3 individuals to become lifeguards for the City. Those interested should contact him. The City is also in the process of hiring someone to oversee the Shipe Pool restoration. Finally, it was announced that the vacant lots on Duval are going before the Historic Landmark Commission in the next couple of weeks.
Co-President Lorre Weidlich adjourned the meeting at 8:43 PM.
The Hyde Park Neighborhood Contact Team regular meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm on May 27, 2015 at Trinity United Methodist Church by co-chairs Jennifer Berbas and Adrian Skinner.
The CT welcomed John Eastman, City of Austin Public Works Office, Sidewalks Department, to discuss the City's 2009 Master Plan and future goals. According to the most recent survey of sidewalks, about half of Austin's street frontage has a sidewalk. Mr. Eastman explained that there are no dedicated tax dollars applied to sidewalks, instead they rely upon bonds, grants, fees and builders to construct sidewalks. When there is money, they follow a set of priorities explained in the Master Plan and on the City Website Public Works page. Mr. Eastman reminded members to call 311 if there is a sidewalk issue, such as a needed repair, an obstruction, or the need to address a gap.
Mr. Eastman concluded by informing the CT that the City is getting ready to update 2009 Sidewalk Master Plan. He advised that neighbors take advantage of opportunities for public comment and communicate with elected officials that sidewalks are a priority and should be funded. He also asked that Neighborhood Plan requests should be kept up to date as they help set priorities. [CT Secretary's note: Hyde Park is scheduled to review priorities in January, 2016.]
The meeting continued with a discussion of bylaws revisions led by bylaws sub-committee chair Reid Long. He presented an overview of changes under consideration and noted that most revisions reflect the need for updated or clarified language and do not change the substance of the bylaw. No votes were taken and discussion will continue at the July CT meeting. This summary lists sections in which substantive changes are proposed. The sub-committee has not yet addressed sections 12-17.
Discussion focused primarily on voting. Currently, in order to vote a member needs to have attended at least one meeting in the last nine months. The sub-committee asked for feedback on removing that requirement and allowing anyone who is qualified to vote. The discussion balanced the common concern that the CT should welcome the involvement of all neighbors with the concerns that those who vote be well-informed and that meetings are not stacked (as other CTs have experienced). A number of possible compromises were suggested that allow for a reasonable restriction that allows for more openness but prevents such abuse of the system as stacking meetings.
The bylaws committee continues to meet and discussion will continue at the July 27 meeting.
The meeting concluded with brief updates of old business items and general announcements:
